The promise of adventure is all around us. Whether you live in Los Angeles or the Himalayas, opportunities to get outside present themselves to anyone with the right pair of eyes and a touch of wanderlust in their heart. For Ty Hathaway, co-owner of Golden Saddle Cyclery, this opportunity takes the form of the Angeles National Forest.

THE ADVENTURE DISPATCH

TY HATHAWAY

In this first episode of The Adventure Dispatch, Ty will show you a City of Angeles that you won't find in any guidebook. Subtly removed from the star maps or the billboard-strewn promises of the Sunset Strip, his escape oasis resides a short ride from the hustle and bustle of a city that millions call home.

Most people just associate LA with Downtown LA, and Hollywood, and big cities, and the beach, and surfing, and there's this whole unexplored realm…that's unexplored by the millions of people that live there. And they're just not looking for it, or they just don't know that it's there? But it's here, and it's kind of amazing.
